Services
Physical Therapy
Our physical therapy services combine orthopedic and sports medicine approaches to treat pain and movement dysfunction. Using hands-on manual therapy and corrective exercises, we address conditions like back pain, joint replacements, and sports injuries. Our evidence-based treatments reduce recovery time while improving mobility and preventing future injuries through comprehensive movement assessments.
Dry Needling
This advanced treatment uses thin needles to target muscle trigger points causing pain and restricted movement. Effective for conditions like chronic back pain, headaches, and sports injuries, dry needling releases muscle tension and promotes healing. Combined with manual therapy, it accelerates recovery for patients with acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions.
Vestibular Therapy
Specialized treatment for dizziness, vertigo, and balance disorders caused by inner ear dysfunction. Our therapists use repositioning maneuvers and customized exercise programs to improve balance, reduce fall risk, and alleviate symptoms like nausea and ringing in the ears. Effective for BPPV and post-concussion vestibular issues.
Women's Health
Targeted physical therapy addressing pelvic floor dysfunction, urinary incontinence, and postpartum recovery. Through individualized assessments and treatment plans, we help women regain strength and mobility after childbirth or surgery. Our approach combines manual therapy with movement strategies to improve pelvic health and overall quality of life.
